Wow, from that image of the wrapping text, if SRD didn't read it before 
he wrote Dhalgren then it's a pretty spooky case of parallel evolution 
(either than, or some common ancestor that we're not aware of.)

Just came across this old article. I find it quite remarkable, but I've 
also been out of the relevant loop for some time:

We are pleased to announce the
release of  Phallos: Enhanced and Revised Edition, by Samuel R. Delany, edited and with an afterword by Robert F.
Reid-Pharr. 

A race for the stolen phallus of a
nameless god

Phallos is a vivid
and clever 2004 book by the acclaimed novelist and critic Samuel R.
Delany. A gay pornographic novella, with the explicit sex omitted, Phallos is set during the reign of the second-century Roman
emperor Hadrian, and circles around the historical account of the
murder of the emperor’s favorite, Antinous. The story moves from
Syracuse to Egypt, from the Pillars of Hercules to Rome, from Athens
to Byzantium, and

Happy birthday, Chip!

Happy birthday to Samuel R. Delany, 71 years young today.

And a nice little essay in his honour from Jo Walton at Tor.com:

There is a reading of Babel-17 floating around out there. No idea who produced it, or when. It appears to be complete - about 6:17 in length.

Great! I'll definitely take a look.

Maybe a good time to remind y'all that my film, "Atlantis and Other New York Tales," featuring Chip reading and nothing but Chip reading is available to view, for FREE, at Youtube:

And despite their latter difficulties, I am nearly finished with the second of my three films about Tom Disch.

Interested parties can see an early generation of the current project (then called "Deaccessioning,") also at the my Youtube page, and the first song from the newly recorded soundtrack at my Vimeo page. Here are the links:

Are any other Delany works available as audiobooks? His writing is so
auditory in some ways that they would seem obvious to do, but I haven't run
across much.

Yes, the only Delany works. And these are not the text prefered by Delany. 
Those are in the 1968 reprints and are still under copyright.

Re: Audio book

Dan'l Danehy-Oakes — 2013-02-19T18:58:11

And neither of these is going to be Delany's "preferred" text, as _Jewels_
was notoriously cut and _Captives_ was extensively rewritten for later
editions.

That's really interesting Greg, thanks for the link!

Following up at that page... it seems that two Ace paperbacks by Chip are
now 'public domain' in the US? They're copyright by Ace Books (not Samuel
R. Delany) in 1962 and 1963, which makes them 51 and 50 years old
respectively. In the file itself, it says "Extensive research did not
uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on this publication was
renewed."

(This is of course the Ace version only not any later or earlier edition
copyright by Samuel R. Delany.)

According to this page:
http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm

This is legit:

1923 through 1963

Published with notice but copyright was not
renewed8<http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm#Footnote_8>

None. In the public domain due to copyright expiration

HOWEVER! It looks like these are the only such works by Chip that are thus
affected -- copyright law changes in the US in 1964:

1964 through 1977

Published with notice

95 years after publication dat
